Lone Star Cup

Pat is going to make an outstanding LSC Captain. Pat has competed in many LSC events as well as having been a winning captain and is very excited to be the new captain!

Pat's experience as a former captain will provide the foundation to being a great leader and motivator and is looking forward to putting a team together that will take back the Cup from San Antonio in 2018!!

In the days to come, Pat will assemble assistant captains and announce them.

Early planning is just beginning and more information will become available as soon as the new LSC committee meets in November. You'll be hearing from Pat very soon regarding registering for the qualifying process.

Be on the lookout over the next couple of months for more details on date and location for the 2018 Lone Star Cup.

What is the Lone Star Cup?

The Lone Star Cup (LSC) provides EWGA Members the opportunity to compete in a team competition using the Match Play Format or have two days of fun play at a premier golf resort in Texas. The LSC was created to provide members the opportunity to develop friendships outside their own chapters and play a competitive match for those who wish to do so. The event has been held annually since 2002. Houston won the cup in 2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014. The only LSC was not completed due to increment weather was 2012.
